The Root Cause

Fear is running rampant throughout our great nation Some fearing guns; some that they’ll be taken The battle line is being drawn quite bold and quite wide With propaganda being spread full of lies from both sides Such contempt and mistrust has infested this society Contributing to the root cause of the problem I see Children witness venom and hatred in the stances we take Making matters even worse – of that you should make no mistake We have lost the ability to compromise for sake of the greater good Shake some sense into both sides – I only wish that I could Meanwhile nothing is being done for the situation to improve Instead the adversarial sides are being stubbornly rude For the sake of the victims is there nothing we can do To get both sides together and from this problem pull through?
